I saw in the release notes that Tonga support has been added, so I tried the latest version (0.5.2) with a Tonga card (r9 380 4GB) but get the following error on startup:


Failed to initialise device idx 3 (-13)


Is this card supported? Or is extra config required for Tonga?



08:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Tonga PRO [Radeon R9 285/380] (rev f1)





I have the same issue on all CN algos except turtlecoin when I launch TRM while any web browser is opened (be Firefox, brave, Edge).

I get this error on a linux box with no GUI.

You are probably getting that error because your browser(s) are using the GPU? Try turning off "hardware acceleration" in chrome/brave.

Hi!

Yes, the web browser error is because the browser has stolen some amount of gpu vram and is using the gpu. It's logical that it still works for turtle (and upx2) since those pads are so tiny, they don't really use that much vram compared to the 2MB/4MB variants.

For the Tonga error, man I don't know. The error is when it tries to "build" the program, which indicates that it the driver doesn't accept our binary with the kernels. Neither me nor todxx have a Tonga to test with unfortunately.

Can you tell me (1) your amdgpu-pro version, (2) give me an output from "./teamredminer --list_devices", (3) the full log when you start the miner until you get that error message (preferably only running for that card)? PM is of course fine if you don't want to paste here.

Thanks, K

It does seem to detect the card.
